Schedule
We have held off posting details about Saturday's events until everything was finalised, however it has taken a little longer than we would have liked. So here is a fair bit of the program, just without some of the details. As soon as we have them, they will be updated accordingly.
Schedule
Friday 29th Nov
Dinner and Drinks central Hobart as people arrive.
Some more info regarding Friday night:
Drinks will be at The Lobby Bar, which is located in Hadley's Hotel, 34 Murray St Hobart. Anytime from 6pm onwards.
Thanks to jdevereux3 for organising the venue. We have an area off the bar set aside for us, and the snack menu is available - or the dining room if people so wish.
Saturday 30th November
From 8.30am Salamanca Market t
Salamanca Market | Hobart City Council, Tasmania
11.00am Catch ferry to MONA. This can be booked online (
Mona » Shop ), and there is a regular and premium seat for $20 and $50 respectively.
MONA: At the museum there are a range of eateries should you wish to have lunch. If you want to maximise time viewing the exhibits, then I suggest eating your fill at the market before the ferry ride. You can book your entry into the museum online, which will save queuing on the day.
1.30pm Catch chartered bus to Cascade Brewery tour, via the city to drop off those who do not wish to attend. Anyone getting to HBA this morning can also be picked up from the city for the brewery tour. The drop off and pick up places are yet to be finalised, but should include a couple of city hotels. Note that the return ferry is the same cost as a one way trip so you are welcome to head back into town on the ferry if you choose. You will need to book your return journey, and it will not be possible to do the brewery tour if you do.
2.15pm Cascade Brewery tour. The tour takes 90 minutes and participants must be over 16 years of age.
I am still finalising booking arrangements for this, but it should be able to be booked online. Pricing is $15 locals, $20 students and seniors, $25 everyone else. The bus will take us back to the city after the tour.
7.00 for 7.30pm Dinner at Smolt. Dinner will be a fixed menu with a range of choices showing off Tassie's local produce. We will have our own room, and we are still to confirm our guest speaker. So I will post their details when available.

The cost is $75 for three courses, and it will need to be prepaid in full. Drinks can be ordered at the table, and paid for at the end of the night. And yes they do take AMEX.
Please let me know if there are any specific dietary requirements that have not been catered for on the menu.
Sunday 1st December
Recovery brunch at Rendezvous Cafe, 4 Salamanca Sq (next door to Smolt).
Booked for arrivals from/to 10:00am to midday.
Well the tour of Lark Distillery is on. $15 per person which includes a sample of "3 Lark whiskies and our whisky liqueur".
The distillery would like prepayment, so if you would like to come along, please add $15 to your payment for the event, and post/PM accordingly. The distillery is near Constitution Dock, so within walking distance of most of the HBA hotels that AFFers are staying.
Edit: The tour will be at 12.30, so enough time to start to recover from the night before.
It will go for about 45-60 minutes, which will give enough time for those departing that afternoon to get to the airport.
Golf is still to be finalised for those interested. ---
CANCELLED

The cost of the bus is $15 p.p. and dinner is $75. A bank account has been setup with Penegal and myself as signatories, and details on how to make payments will be available soon. There are not expected to be any administrative costs.
The final cutoff date for payment is Friday 22nd November. Full refunds for cancellations up until Friday 15th November. Any refunds after that date (15/11) will be determined on a case-by-case basis, as the restaurant may require payment for any 'no-shows'.
